Great merits of Manfred Lehner

The retired Managing Director Manfred Lehner made a significant contribution to Beko Technologies as a financial expert, analyst and strategist. After his appointment as Managing Director in 2007, he was responsible for the commercial aspects of the company. Under Lehner's leadership, Beko Technologies went on a growth course, opened several international branches and production facilities, entered important markets worldwide and increased its sales capacities. The group's turnover more than doubled to over 100 million euros during Manfred Lehner's time on the management board.
